Message received: "Why is the confederate flag featured so prominently by almost all white supremacist groups?"

Answer: We wouldn't know. You might want to ask someone in a white supremacist group about what flags they choose to display and why.

But since you mentioned something completely unconnected to us, most certainly with the express intent of creating a link between hate groups and the Confederacy that does not actually exist, here's our reply to that silly question...

"We take exception to claims that the Confederate battle flag is forever “tarnished” by certain hate groups that have displayed her. A cursory glance at the history of these various groups show that they have also used (and with the same frequency) the U.S. flag, the Bible and the Christian cross, just to name a few items, in their demonstrations and activities. By this logic, should these symbols also be banned, shunned and forbidden from future use? As Christians, we refuse to allow them to “hijack” our faith. As Americans, we refuse to allow them to “own” the Stars and Stripes. And as the descendants of Confederate soldiers, we will not allow them to tarnish our banner. We suggest, instead, that these people should be dealt with accordingly, based on their deeds and actions, instead of assigning blame to certain symbols they use."

This is the medal for the 2023 Mississippi Divisuon Convention. It came out great! I would advise you to get your registration in to the coordinator on the registration sheet to have your medal reserved. I say that because as nice as the medal turned out, if you wait to pay your fee at the table at the Convention, there maybe no medals left except the ones to bid on. Get those registrations in now! !!!!!
